The Svart team recommends: Jukka's metal favorites

Jukka, our sweet and caring webshop customer correspondent is the guy you turn to whenever questions arise. For pastime activities Jukka enjoys raising children and listening to the most brutal forms of contemporary music, such as Björk and power electronics.
Here Jukka chose a dozen remarkable records from the Svart webshop's selection of non-Svart goodies. His focus this time is on grindcore, death metal and other forms of more extreme metal.

The 4th demo from Germany’s Blood and the title says it all. Gutter grind core owing much to the likes of Hellhammer as well. Also check out the other Blood demo reissues in our webshop!

One of the underrated classics of the 90s Norwegian black metal scene and among the first ones opting for viking imagery instead of satanic/nordic weather themes. The 2nd album ”The Dawn of the Dying Sun” also available in our webshop.

Shedding the band’s psychedelic sludge skin, Hulluuden muuri reveals a more aggressive and if possible, bleaker approach with a sound boldly experimenting with various apocalyptic styles of heavy music.

This ain’t no ”Look What the Cat Dragged In”! The first demo tape of Germany’s Poison reissued on vinyl for the first time. Tormenting basement sound from Hell! Other Poison demo reissues available as well.

DSO remains one of the most imporant names in the black metal scene today and each new release is a must. Sheer blackened vision so many attempt to imitate yet fail miserably. Other DSO titles available in CD format as well

Long-running and too often overlooked U.S. band, often shoved in the sludge/doom category yet carrying an equal amount of influences from Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and even Darkthrone. Painstakingly heavy!
